Pray this Lazaroo with hyperfocus:

“Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: ‘Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace.’”
(Luke 2:27-29)

Simeon was there at that once-in-a-lifetime moment, Jesus

because the Spirit moved him to be there.

How many times have You moved me, Holy Spirit

and I missed a priceless moment
because I failed to respond?

Pray this Lazaroo to the God who can!

“…Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, ‘In the future when your descendants ask their parents, “What do these stones mean?” tell them, “Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.”’”
(Joshua 4:20-22)

You parted the Red Sea for Moses, Jesus.

You parted the waters of the Jordan for Joshua
as Israel entered the promised land.

You know the waters I have to cross, LORD.

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.”
(Romans 2:28-29)

Wow.

You’re saying I’m not a Jew because my parents were Jews.

I’m a Jew

because I believe in You, Jesus –

the King of the Jews
the Root and Offspring of David.

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“…they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:19)

Solomon’s nervous about what his heirs are going to do after he’s gone, Jesus.

I’m sure my parents had some of those same thoughts about me.
Maybe I’ll feel the same toward my kids!

But what matters isn’t the stuff I leave behind, is it?

It’s the quality of my children’s 1on1 relationship

with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…you owe me your very self.”
(Philemon 1:19)

You can legitimately say that to every one of us, Jesus

You’re our Creator.
You fashioned me in the womb.

But can anyone else say that to me?

My parents, I guess.
Sure wouldn’t be here without them.

Maybe a key teacher or mentor.

But what about the person who led me to You?

They can say that to me all day long
inspiring me to do the same for others.

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ…”
(James 2:1)

This is about as clear as You could possibly make it, Jesus:

If someone believes in You
they’re family.

They’re as much my brother and my sister

as though we shared the same biological mom and dad.

On second thought, they’re even more.

As good as natural parents can possibly be
none of them can match You.

My truest family

is the one that lasts
forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“He got rid of the sacred stone of Baal that his father had made.”
(2 Kings 3:2)

That’s the first thing some kids do, Jesus –

change what their parents did.

Growing up, they saw their parents’ flaws – real or imagined –

swore to themselves they would do it better when they got the chance.

In this case, Joram was 100% correct.

Baal had to go.

But sometimes as kids…

the older we get
the smarter our parents begin to look.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“I urge…that…prayers…be made for…all those in authority…”
(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

Okay, Father…

I’ll do it.
Because You asked.

I pray for everyone in authority over me –

long-term and short term
those in the present, those in my past:

parents, babysitters, teachers, coaches
trainers, mentors, landlords, bankers
mayors, policemen and women, judges
congressmen and women, presidents
pastors, elders, group leaders, point people

Give them wisdom, favor, blessing, understanding, compassion, courage, empathy, Biblical standards, consciences, humility.

In Jesus’ Name!
